First Class Chaos

After a rough sea last night, today was the first full sea day, and the first of my painting classes. And I should start by saying the dedicated art studio on the Borealis is absolutely fantastic!… …it could do with a couple more tables and more chairs, but the space is light and airy, and pretty much perfect for the...

Aarhus, Denmark

Today, we arrived at our penultimate stop on the trip, Aarhus in Denmark.
